[Green] Harmar Days report

[Rebecca Phillips]

Hello, all,

The pollinator habitat table at Harmar Days seems to have been a success.

  *   We gave out all 150 seed packets (and could have given more--at least two people asked after we ran out) and an equal number of handouts. One Columbus-area resident is distributing our information sheet and seed packet to several neighbors for a possible Homegrown National Park neighborhood there.
  *   We added fifteen names to the list of possible volunteers for the fall planting push. Two of these names are people associated with Veritas Academy (a student and the wife of a philosophy instructor), something I did not expect.
  *   Two women from Tyler County left their names and are interested in the possibility of municipal pollinator plantings in Friendly.
  *   There were four "official" guided walks, and several visitors to the table mentioned walking the site and reading the signs on their own.
  *   A manager at the Marathon Petroleum truck site on Route 7 has asked for a consultation on an area the company intends to designate as a pollinator sanctuary. He also mentioned the possibility of grant money but will need to look into whether a church is the kind of nonprofit that can apply.

A big "thank-you" to our volunteers Dave and Shari Ballantyne, George Banziger, Andrew Clovis, and Claire Mullen.

Rebecca
